Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Painting (AS) (#5) Totem by Lynda Benglis was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in New York in March last year. It changed hands for a price of USD 88,200.00 (€ 79,509.60) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lynda Benglis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Moretti in May last year with an auction result of USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Painting (AS) (#5) Totem von Lynda Benglis wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Curated bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 79.509,60) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lynda Benglis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Moretti im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.071.000,00 (€ 998.043,05).
